In reply to: Democracy poll plugin not showing up in admin panelNote that there’s two plugins in one here – Democracy Widget and Democracy. And there’s a democracy folder inside the democracy folder. In order to get democracy itself going you need to move the inner folder up a level. God knows why he packaged it that way.

In reply to: Akismet spam doubled in three daysAmazing – I’m now seeing 5x the normal volume of comments getting through Akismet.
Forum: Everything else WordPress
In reply to: Akismet spam doubled in three daysWell, I manage around 70 WP installations, so installing additional plugins on every blog is not an attractive option. I need server-wide solutions, not per-blog. Generally Akismet + 1-st time comment moderation is good enough, but this recent uptick is insane. It seems to have gotten a bit better yesterday, but numbers caught by Akismet continues to rise at a rate like I’ve never seen it.

In reply to: [Plugin: The Future Is Now] rss feedbaalinato – It would not have any effect on the RSS feed. All it does is set the publish status to “publish” even if the post date has not yet arrived.

In reply to: Mass delete empty categoriesWell, I hacked up a crude but effective solution. It’s not a proper plugin, and this is probably such a rare need that it wouldn’t make sense to put the time in to make it one. If anyone needs to solve the same problem, contact me and I’ll send it to you.

In reply to: Would be great if it worked! [plugin category-admin]Ditto – I’ve got a site to manage with more than 6000 categories, and am looking for a way to delete thousands of empty categories. Thought this plugin might do the trick, but under WP 2.5 you get only a blank screen on Manage | Categories.

In reply to: Loop of PagesHmm… thanks both.
Is your only problem with posts the fact that you can’t set permalinks to to category archives which don’t have “/something/category” in them?
That’s similar to another thing I just tried – using a custom URL structure that includes only the postname, no date. The index display worked, but the links were all 404 (yes I updated .htaccess). Looks like this is covered here and is known not to work.
Disappointing. Yes, preserving existing URLs of a currently static site is the main goal here. If only list_pages() had an optional arg to display the post body. Looked around for a plugin to do this, but didn’t immediately see anything (though I didn’t look very hard).
Seems like there’s got to be a way… but maybe not. Thanks.

In reply to: setup_postdata() and the_tags()Anderson – Wow, that’s a weird one. Your fix works fine on 2.5. Never would have figured that out on my own, thanks.

In reply to: Custom directories with .htacess privsFound the solution to this one here. But note that the paths shown must be docroot relative, not server root relative.

In reply to: Can’t enable gzipI think one of my RedirectMatch rules was being too greedy. This problem went away after making some of my rule more specific.

In reply to: Writing a regex that excludes wp-adminThanks Kafkaesqui. I actually ended up taking a different approach. Rather than exclude wp-admin in .htaccess, I’m targeting the URLs I do want to rewrite more carefully.
I was previously using this:
RedirectMatch Permanent /(.*)/(.*)/(.*)\.php$ http://domain.net/$1/$2/$3but that was triggered by various plugins from inside wp-admin. Change that to this, matching year and date in first part of URL, and wp-admin is no longer affected:
RedirectMatch Permanent /([0-9]*[0-9]*[0-9]*[0-9]*)/([0-9]*[0-9]*)/(.*)\.php$ http://domain.net/$1/$2/$3Forum: Everything else WordPress

In reply to: Importing from Movable Type with keywords intactIn case it’s helpful for anyone, I modified the MT importer so that it now turns MT keywords into WP tags. I submitted a patch to core for it. Waiting to see if it’s accepted, but if you need it now, grab the diff from trac:

In reply to: Day of Week archive outputOK, for the archives – here’s what I came up with to accomplish this. Unfortunately, this simple code will also link to days that had no news. wp_get_archives() would not have that problem, but unfortunately it won’t work for this need.
<?php // Calculate day and date values for the preceding week, // counting back from now. There are 86400 seconds in a day. $counter = 6; while ( $counter >= 0 ) { $timestamp = mktime()-$counter*86400; $agodate = date('Y/m/d',$timestamp); $agoday = date('D',$timestamp); echo "<li><a href=\""; bloginfo('url'); echo "/$agodate\">$agoday</li>"; $counter -= 1; } ?>Forum: Plugins
